If a seller company booked a fake sale on 31st March 2016 and reversed it in April 2016, here’s how the purchaser should handle the situation:
1. **Seller’s Fake Sale and Reversal:**
- The seller has already recognized the fake sale in their books by booking it on 31st March 2016.
- The reversal in April 2016 indicates that the seller corrected their books to remove the fake sale.
2. **Implications for the Purchaser:**
- **Recognition of Purchase:** If the purchaser initially recorded the purchase related to this fake sale in March 2016, they should reverse this entry in their books to reflect the correction.
- **Recording the Reversal:** The reversal should be recorded in the purchaser’s books in April 2016 when they become aware of the seller’s correction.
- **Accounting Treatment:** The purchaser should treat this as a correction of error by reversing the purchase initially recorded. This ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the actual transactions.
3. **Documentation and Compliance:**
- It’s important for both parties to document the reasons for the reversal and any communications related to it. This documentation helps in maintaining transparency and clarity in financial reporting.
- If there are any legal or regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of such incidents, both parties should comply accordingly.
4. **Consultation with Accountant:**
- If there are complexities or uncertainties in handling such transactions, consulting with an accountant or financial advisor is recommended. They can provide specific guidance based on the circumstances and applicable accounting standards.
In summary, the purchaser should reverse the entry related to the fake sale once it is confirmed that the seller has corrected their books. This ensures that both parties’ financial statements are accurate and in compliance with accounting principles.
